'80s Remakes

'80s Movies That SHOULD Be Remade

People are weird about '80s movies. They act like just because we loved something back then, when those who can work themselves up to caring were pre-teens, that everything was an untouchable classic. That’s not true. There was a lot of crap about in the '80s. High-concept, slap-dash nonsense that we remember more for the idea than for any particular moment. Take the reaction to news that Weird Science is being remade. People furious. Dolls out of pram. But who actually remembers much about it. Nobody at all (possibly, there are some who do, fine). The truth is there are loads of '80s movies that would benefit from a remake. It was largely an era of huge ideas and not always the ability to execute them well. These movies would all be good shouts for another try.
